Studebaker rockne 1932

Recommended Posts

Herman, you always need to remind us which model Rockne you have:  a "65" (model 30) or a "75" (model 41) because the parts are frequently different.  The 1929-40 Catalog of Body Parts says that model 30 cars use a "thumb screw".  Maybe it looked like this:

Main product photo

This photo came from the Grainger catalog.  The diameter of the head is 1.25" (~32 mm), threads are 5/16-18.  The head seems large enough to be able to tighten it securely

There are also thumb screws is smaller heads, may be more difficult to get tight enough to hold the windshield in place.  The Studebaker parts catalog says there should be a washer and washer retainer, as well.  Check the thread size in your car.

 

However, if your car is a model 41, then  an "Adjusting Arm Handle" was used, part numbers 253533W and 253534W.  They came in right-hand and left-hand threaded versions, used nuts, lock washers and spring washers.  I don't know what these looked like.

 

Here are some options from Restoration Supply Co. (restorationstuff.com).
